Mumof5 - you have done very well. Will keep my fingers crossed for you hun.

Oh Lissie, thankyou so so so much for your wonderful response. You are inspirational!!!
I have just read it out to DH as he was wondering why I had tears running down my eyes whilst sitting at the computer (he also sends a big hello and thanks). It is so comforting to hear from another person going through the same process. You are so right - it doesnt matter whether or not the child is biol. ours - we already love them even though they are not quite here yet. I guess part of my fear is how the child will feel about the whole thing - but then again I know that our relationship (and love) is strong enough to support them through whatever they may feel (and need to do - like tracking down biol. dad if they want to). Its amazing - I would never have wished infertility upon my worst enemy, but you know what I have discovered so much more about myself that I would never have had the opportunity to if this had not happened to us.
Once again, thankyou Lissie xxx
